CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Nominating Committee of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club is calling for nominations for the position of Director for a two-year term commencing after the 2018 Annual General Meeting scheduled for December 1st, 2018.

The Nominating Committee is seeking qualified candidates to play a key role in the stewardship of the Club, and who respect the Club’s core values while delivering leading-edge governance attributes including experience, engagement, transparency and accountability. Qualified candidates will have the skill-sets, expertise and experience necessary to further the Club’s long-term strategic plan, while also playing the key role of supervising the Club’s management. The Club is seeking nominations for both “parent” and “independent” roles (the latter being persons with a deep knowledge of and passion for ski racing and/or a background in organizational governance, and who do not currently have children in Club programs).

The Nominating Committee is seeking:

One candidate to assume the role of Finance Director following a transition period;

And up to two candidates for the role of At-large Independent Director.

Where qualifications are comparable, preference will be given to female candidates with the goal of having greater female representation on the Board.

Interested members are invited to contact Monique Morden, Chair of the Nominating Committee (and Past-Chair of the Club at nominatingcommittee@wmsc.info.

Board Composition

Under the Club’s By-laws the Board of Directors will consist of not less than three and not more than twelve members, excluding the Chair and Vice-Chair/Past Chair. The Board currently consists of eight members, excluding the Chair and Vice-Chair/Past Chair. Directors must be full or honorary members of the Club. Directors are elected by the Club’s members at the Club’s annual meetings. Excluding the Chair, Directors are elected for two-year terms, with one half of the board elected every year. Directors are expected to commit to serving serve at least two terms.

The Board of Directors has adopted a target of eight members, comprised of four Directors At-Large, the Chair, the Vice Chair/Past Chair, the Finance Director and the Club Secretary.
